Where do you store extra rolls of paper towel
Comments (15)One roll on a counter holder by the sink, the rest in my downstairs pantry "under the stairs". I rarely use them, just DH does- in fact I was wanting to 'try out' the new paper holder's feature of being able to tear off a sheet with one hand, but I never seem to have a need of a paper towel! remodel, what do use to microwave bacon/greasy things (maybe you don't MW those?)- Can't thing of anything better than paper towels for those... :>)...See MoreShow me your paper towel holder, please.
Comments (31)I go through less than a roll a year. (Though I'm daubing on a lot of paint samples with them right now, because it's less trashy than a lot of little disposable paint brushes!) I won't invest money or counter space in a holder. The roll will get stuck on a shelf in the cupboard. If you're looking for an alternative, you can buy bags of cheap yet sturdy shop towels at the big box stores that you can use and wash and reuse for years. Much more absorbent and scrubby than paper for everything but the most disgusting or dangerous spills. Less germy than sponges....See MoreCan you recommend a util. sink and under-cab paper towel holder?
Comments (1)I have a Simple Human under cabinet paper towel holder in the laundry room. If I didn't have under cabinet lights in the kitchen I probably would have used one there too. It fits both of your criteria ... well-designed and easy to use.

Comments (27)One towel (for drying hands) hangs on my sink front. Not visible from our family room, as the island hides it. The hanger is a self stick V-shaped "hook" (no hanging loop necessary). I didn't want to take the risk for the adhesive to mar the high gloss front over time, so I pressed a (non adhesive) removable vinyl piece on the front, and pressed the holder on that. My dish towels live in my Lazy Susan corner cab which is next to my sink cabinet. I chose the Ikea Lazy Susan over the corner pull-out specifically for the 5" of "wasted" space between the rotating shelf and the cab sides. So on the sink side I've installed a telescoping towel bar that holds 4 towels easily. I think the same bars that sjhockeyfan above installed in her dedicated towel cab. I'm really glad that for reaching the towels, we only need to open half of the double-hinged door. As opening and closing both of the hinged doors is a bit more awkward. But 90% of the time the door gets opened for access to the towels. So no problem. No problem with the towels staying wet either. Corner cabs are huge and Ikea cabs are not at airtight. The towels dry quickly. Peeps heere on GW typically don't like Lazy Susan cabs and recommend against them. I love mine. It's perfect for storing small appliances, and what other cab offers two 5"x 30" vertical storage spaces? On the other side of the Susan shelf we keep an oversized tray and a huge over-the-counter/sink cutting board. Plus I keep a foldable stepstool and some other odd stuff underneath the bottom rotating shelf. My Lazy Susan cab should be called "Efficient Susan". She works really hard for us :-)...See Moresunsoleil
